IU_FanClub

Honestly the last few weeks have been the least fun I have ever had as an IU fan, not knowing whether or not winning would hurt us. After sleeping on it, I think I would rather not do that again haha. We have fired coaches before and it has gotten us to right here so I am willing to see how this goes. Go Hoosiers let's go win the BTT!

Would winning the next 5 and then losing in the big ten title game be enough to give us a shot at 21-14?

Next season and probably the season after are already over. Time to find a real hobby!

Mgbako is cooking!

That was insufferable to read through. If you don’t want to read criticism don’t click on the fire the coach thread and please don’t clog it up with pointless arguments.

Million in nil, multiple 5 stars, and not even close to making the tournament with a pretty much barren recruiting pipeline for the future and an unwillingness to add to it and the fact that there’s even a chance we don’t do anything about this is just sad. Another match with IU irrelevancy. Also if you’re anti Pearl because he’s “too dirty” that’s fine but don’t say you want a proven college winner or have any sort of desire to be elite again because all those guys are “dirty” too.

Peegs is hard to follow with all the new threads constantly popping up and when you add that to the fact that the insiders are either stingy or cryptic with info it gets to be a frustrating read

That would be one of those moves that lets us all know way ahead of time that we don't need to worry about next season

Is the Kenny Payne thing real? I feel like I've seen people bring it up here and there over the season but thought it was a joke.

I would say the level of intensity they brought last night was from them being sick and tired of losing games. The negativity has definitely weighed on them and credit to the team they were able to positively harness that last night.

I know the fans aren't that dumb, my fear is that the admin is

I was frustrated we won until I saw Gard complaining after the game and it snapped me out of it. **** Wisconsin.

Alright I’ve cooled off a little, happy to beat Wisconsin but that’s as far as I’ll go

I cannot do another season of Mike Woodson. I cannot ******* do it.

What a ******* waste. Cant do anything right. If he saves his job on some useless late season wins…

God dammit

Please do not win this game.

It is honestly just crazy to me that there is anyone in any sort of position of power that thinks this should carry on. We really think after this year that Woodson can hang on to the good pieces of this roster AND build around them? We really think the 2025 class is going to be lining up to join the party? It's time to rip the bandaid off and if people in charge are purposely turning a blind eye to this just because of relationships then I have no idea what to say

It's all good for a coach to hold his players to a higher standard if that coach is also taking any sort of accountability for his own shortcomings. He put these players in a position to fail and then he throws them under the bus. I totally understand being hard on them and truly I think they can handle it but I would guess they are probably sick and tired of being thrown under the bus while the coach throws his hands up and says that he has to get them over the hump and that his job is so hard because he has new players.

I was full of mixed feelings during that big run we had the other night. At first I was hyped up and then in the back of my mind I realized I might be watching them actively save his job and the fun went away.

I hate to do this because I don't think I ever have, but I would really prefer we just lose out and make this as cut and dry as possible.

Now hold on, $1 hot dogs might convince me to buy season tickets

The more I read and the more I take a broader view of this whole situation, it just seems like a complete no brainer that you have to fire Woodson this year. I do not see any logical way a 2025 recruit would commit to this program under the current circumstances whether it is the in state guys or others. The situation at home games will likely be at the point of embarrassing the university as a whole. The majority of our current roster will probably leave and we will probably have to add almost all of our production from the portal which means trying to convince a bunch of guys to come join the sinking ship. I just do not see any way next year goes anything but poorly with Woodson at the helm.

Maybe I'm wrong on this, but my takeaway from the Trilly stuff is that Scott wants to replace Woodson with Pearl but he has to convince the higher ups to let him. I could be way off on that but that's the way I see it.

I can't see the next year and change going any different than this: Finish this season around 17-15 Woodson stays, gets a few guys in the portal that we all hype up that aren't that great Next year has an 8 seed ceiling, below .500 floor We will never be an elite basketball team under Mike Woodson. We can do this for another year or so that won't change. He seems like a good guy, not the right guy for this job. Does not put in the necessary effort to be elite. I have never been more confident that people's interest in IU basketball will be drained. People love to bring up the apathy card and usually it is total crap but I have actually for the first time in my life this year stopped caring if we win or lose because it just does not matter until a change is made.
